The building in which the Allied Control Council was housed and from where it operated was called Alliierte Kontrollrats Gebäude. It was situated in Berlin-Schoeneberg[?], Hauptstrasse[?], in the Kleist[?] Park. The ongoing Iron Curtain confrontations left the function of the Control Council, which was intended to govern as a united body, in limbo. After 1945, when the Soviet Union went its own way and cooperations between the Soviet Union and the other three of the Four Powers totally collapsed, the building stood empty. There was only one guard stationed out front. After the fall of the Berlin Wall and after the Soviet troops left Berlin in 1994, the Allied Control Council building was returned to Berlin city authorities.
